Quotes from John Arthur

The real cost of true friendship is death (John 15:13).

True friendship costs more than love.

Your real friend recognizes your uniqueness and appreciates your value.

Friendship is the hands of love.

Be nice to people. On phone and in-person. Don't wait to know a person before you treat them well; treat them well because you're a good person. That's how true friends live.

This is a serious issue: most people don't have true friends. Please search for one. It's not your wife or husband. This is just a real friend - someone who connected to you without any existing relationship, but still got your back no matter what.

Richard Farson, professor at the Humanistic Psychology Institute in San Francisco, says, "Millions of people in America have never had one minute in their whole lifetime where they could 'let down' and share with another person their deeper feelings.

Until you love your spouse enough to make them your best friend, you could stay with them for years and never taste the friend in them.

Know the spirit of every friend you make before you bond with them.

Marriage is a lifetime opportunity to have your spouse as your lifetime best friend.
